Abstract

An inkjet recording apparatus (1) including: (a) a first medium accommodator (14) configured to accommodate a recording medium (P); (b) a medium supporter (21) having a flat horizontal surface (21a) on which the recording medium is to be supported; (c) an inkjet head (2) having a nozzle opening surface (2a) that is opposed to the flat horizontal surface of the medium supporter; (d) a first medium feeder (12) configured to horizontally feed the recording medium accommodated in the first medium accommodator, in a medium loading direction-(B, C), such that the recording medium is fed onto the flat horizontal surface of the medium supporter; (e) a second medium feeder (13) configured to horizontally feed the recording medium supported on the flat horizontal surface of the medium supporter, in a medium unloading direction (D) that intersects the medium loading direction in a plan view as seen in a direction perpendicular to the flat horizontal surface of the medium supporter; and (f) a second medium accommodator (15) configured to accommodate the recording medium that is fed in the medium unloading direction by the second medium feeder.
